BTW, on my machine it helps to turn on ioapic in VirtualBox. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On/Off makes no difference. I had started with 12MB video memory. Increasing to 64MB made no difference. I started with 1024MB Base memory. When I reduced it to 512, the system booted. By bisecting, I found that 704MB works and 736MB fails. The only other case I recall where too much memory was a problem involved more than 1024MB and a device that only had 30-bit DMA. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

By adding "ipv6.disable=1" to the boot line, booting proceeded normally even with RAM set at 1024 MB. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Perhaps a real machine and other kinds of VM work around a race condition through the use of the watchdog, but VB has this disabled. I'm grasping at straws here. The first reference you quote above talks about a race between ipv6.ko loading/initializing and the starting of sshd. Does the kernel on the NET install iso actually start sshd? If so, perhaps a sleep 10 at the start of the sshd script would avoid the problem. I checked the log while booting with 700 MB VM. In that case, the system does not try to load ipv6. There must be some kind of free RAM test that skips the load. Without IPV6, the load succeeds. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
